Retratarte

Carlos del Amor goes a step further in the journey through the paintings that he undertook with Emozandote. This time he focuses on the portrait, a genre that allows him to recreate the lives of those portrayed and of the artists, and how the latter also portray themselves in his way of painting. The choice of his models or the commissioned portraits, the realistic fidelity to the sitter or the artist's perception of him, the self-portrait practiced by so many, who the models were and what lives they led, the difficulties in accepting the work by whoever commissions it or by the public, are part of the intimate history of these works that we will discover in the book. With his characteristic literary style, Carlos del Amor shows us a world behind each painting and, once again, reveals to us that there have been many women artists, and very little known until now.
